I'd heard about a correlation between dairy consumption and
osteoporosis but not breast cancer (I've heard it implicated but
that's all).
A quick google through this up:

Is this the male equivalent?

Hmm I wonder if this is the cause of my height? I'm 6ft but based on
my frame I was clearly intended to be shorter. I had loads of milk as
a child, my mum battled through milk allergy and managed somehow to
feed me the best part of a litre a day for most of my childhood, and
god knows how much if you count cheese too. I always assumed that it
was due to her thryoid starting to fail when she was pregnant with
me. Which, ironically, I suspect was indirectly due to a reaction to
milk in the first place.
